Group Flight Information
Looking to fly to Vienna with other participants? Read on for more information about our optional Group Flight Package for Finalists and Full Access Family Package participants.
Optional Vienna Group Flight Package
For some, flying alone internationally can seem daunting. We have additionally received requests about opportunities for participants to fly together from the US to Vienna (and back). While we cannot arrange escorted flights from individual airports, we’re pleased to have made arrangements for a limited block of seats on a direct flight between the New York metro area (Newark Liberty International Airport - EWR) to/from Vienna to escort participants on the international leg of their journey. Participants may choose to meet Series staff at (and then say goodbye from) EWR instead of traveling the entire journey on their own. These arrangements are optional and the cost is not included in the program cost. Reservations for the limited seats that we have on this chaperoned flight will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note, only Finalists and 6-Day Family Program participants are eligible for the Group Air Package. The Group Air Package is not available for the Sightseeing Extension.
Registration Details
- All Finalists will be given the opportunity to enroll themselves or any Full Access Family Program attendees in the Series Chaperoned Group Flight via their my.honorsperformance.org performer portal.
- Since this optional flight is in addition to the Finalist program, performers wishing to be on the group flight must select the Chaperoned Group Flight as an add-on via my.honorsperformance.org.
- Enrollment in the Chaperoned Group Flight is subject to the same program Terms and Conditions and Standard Cancellation Policy acknowledged during the Finalist's online enrollment.
- Space on the group flight is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Travel Logistics
The Group Air flight will depart from and arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Participants must arrange their non-program flights to arrive into or depart from EWR with plenty of time to allow for immigration, baggage claim, check-in, and security processes, as well as unexpected delays or cancellations, even if this means a long layover.
Depending upon your hometown, this may mean taking the day’s first available flight to EWR (at the start of the program) and the last available flight from EWR (on the return), or even considering staying overnight at EWR. The Series recommends allowing for a minimum 7-10 hour layover between your self-arranged hometown flight and the program flight in each direction.
Please Note: Should any flight delay or cancellation from your home city interfere with your ability to connect to the outbound program flight, you may lose your ticket and be required to purchase another flight at your own expense. The Series is not responsible for any delay or cancellation of the return program flight that causes a missed connection with a non-program return flight to your home city.

Group Flight Inclusions
- Round-trip airfare from EWR (Newark Liberty International Airport) to VIE (Vienna International Airport)
- Staff on-site at EWR to assist with arrivals from home-city airports and departures to home-city airports
- Series staff on the flight to provide a safe, worry-free experience on the international journey
- Assistance with the international entry at Customs and Immigration
Cost and Payment Plan
The cost for each round-trip Program Flight is $1,275 US. Unlike when you buy directly from an airline and have to pay in full upfront, we are pleased to be able to offer an optional payment plan (in addition to the option to fully pay upfront). When elected as an Add On item in the performer portal, the Group Flight tuition will be added to the Finalist's existing payment plan, if applicable.
